Okay, done. I've captured the leprosy genomes out of the aDNA pathogen database that Sikora et al. pub'd in July. As they noted in their own analysis, it's now been well documented that leprosy was circulating in N Europe thruout the Middle Ages, & seems to have been tied to trade in squirrel skins.
![Sikora et al. 2025 (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-09192-8), Main text (p. 1015), on leprosy:
"We also report new cases of other bacterial pathogens previously detected in paleogenomic data. The leprosy-causing bacterium M. leprae was identified in seven individuals (0.5% detection rate) from Scandinavia and only appeared from the Late Iron Age onwards (earliest case RISE174, 1,523-1,339 cal. bp). Because M. leprae can infect both red squirrels and humans[35], and archaeological evidence demonstrates that fur trade from Scandinavia, including squirrel fur, increased substantially during the late Iron and Viking Ages[36], our results support the suggestion that squirrel fur trade could have facilitated transmission[37]. Our findings are also consistent with the widespread distribution of leprosy in medieval Europe[38]."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:twqucin7jqhlteuk37lqltr7/bafkreidq7hry63vk5s3dahnachlqoqf5tfxhefuwu3fsrh73gfwwelsq6u@jpeg)
